The stabilizing efficiency of the compounds of formula (I), (Ia) or (Ib) is illustrated by the examples which follow, wherein some compounds obtained in the preparation examples are used as antioxidants and as light stabilizers for polypropylene.

1 g of each of the compounds indicated in Table 1 and 1 g of calcium stearate are mixed in a slow mixer with 1000 g of polypropylene powder of melt index=2 g/10 minutes (measured at 230°C and 2.16 kg).

The mixtures are extruded twice at 200°-220°C to give polymer granules which are then converted into plates of 1 mm thickness (mould according to DIN 53451) by compression-moulding for 3 minutes at 220°C

The plates thus obtained are exposed in an oven with forced air circulation, maintained at a temperature of 135°C, until embrittlement occurs.

The results are shown in Table 1.

1 g of each of the compounds indicated in Table 2, 0.5 g of tris(2,4-di-t-butylphenyl)phosphite, 0.5 g of pentaerythritol tetrakis[3-(3,5-di-t-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)propionate] and 1 g of calcium stearate are mixed in a slow mixer with 1000 g of polypropylene powder of melt index=3 g/10 minutes (measured at 230°C and 2.16 kg).

The mixtures are extruded at 200°-220°C to give polymer granules which are then converted into stretched tapes of 50 μm thickness and 2.5 mm width, using a pilot type apparatus (Leonard-Sumirago (VA) Italy) under the following conditions:

extruder temperature: 210°-230°C

head temperature: 240°-260°C

stretch ratio: 1:6

The tapes thus prepared are exposed, mounted on a white card, in a model 65 WR Weather-O-Meter (ASTM G 26-77), with a black panel temperature of 63°C

The residual tenacity is measured on samples, taken after various times of exposure to light, by means of a constant-speed tensometer; the exposure time in hours needed to halve the initial tenacity (T50) is then calculated.

The results are shown in Table 2.
